MODEL MANAGEMENT-SYSTEMS - AN OVERVIEW

During the past fifteen years, model management has grown from a few suggestions that data management be enlarged to include decision models to an established but still growing field of study. We examine three central topics in model management. The first is model base structure and its correspondence to network and relational data base structures. The second is model base processing and the application of artificial intelligence to model interfacing, integration, construction, and interpretation. The third is the organizational environment of model management systems and the contribution of model management systems to organizational intelligence.
